Slide 1

Ergonomics Awareness Education For representatives and directors

Slide 2

By the end of this presentation you will have the capacity to: Define ergonomics and its advantages Identify parts of the body that get harmed at work Identify work exercises that can prompt to damage

Slide 3

By the end of this presentation you will have the capacity to: List cases of ergonomic rule that diminish danger of harm Participate in your organization's ergonomic endeavors Recognize and report signs and manifestations of damage early

Slide 4

Introduction Definition of ergonomics Benefits of ergonomics

Slide 5

You can have vital influence You can: Find any issues in your occupation Find answers for these issues Make beyond any doubt the arrangements work

Slide 6

Ergonomics… … is the science and routine of planning employments and working environments to coordinate the abilities and restrictions of the human body. Ergonomics signifies "fitting the occupation to the laborer"

Slide 7

Ergonomics at Work Risk of damage - Heavy lifting Cart decreases chance

Slide 8

Benefits of Ergonomics counteracts wounds Ergonomics has different advantages Improved nature of work Improved personal satisfaction Reduced weariness and uneasiness

Slide 9

Injuries and hazard components What are W ork-related M usculo-S keletal D isorders ( WMSDs )? Normal sorts and side effects of harm Causes and aversion of damage

Slide 10

What are Work-related Musculo-Skeletal Disorders (WMSDs)? WMSDs are otherwise called: Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) Overuse wounds They are delicate tissue wounds which happen step by step

Slide 11

WMSDs are word related disarranges of the delicate tissues: muscles ligaments tendons joints veins nerves

Slide 12

What causes WMSDs? Substantial, Frequent, or Awkward Lifting Pushing, Pulling or Carrying Loads Working in Awkward Postures Hand Intensive Work

Slide 13

Risk Factors Risk of harm relies on: Duration of introduction Frequency of presentation Intensity of presentation Combinations of hazard components (to what extent) regularly (how regularly) regularly MUCH) (how +++

Slide 14

Duration – You generally require hours of presentation before hazard elements turn into a worry Exposure can be all at one time or total throughout the day

Slide 15

Frequency is frequently a worry in: gathering errands sorting assignments stacking or off-stacking materials reviewing items item stocking programming telemarketing client benefit

Slide 16

Intensity alludes to: weight in pounds of things lifted or conveyed grasp or squeeze constrain of lifted or controlled things vibration level (meters/second 2 ) drive on keys when writing

Slide 17

Combinations of hazard variables Exposure to more than one hazard calculate at once enormously builds the danger of damage. For instance: Bending and turning while lifting Repetitive, compelling utilization of the hands with the wrists twisted

Slide 18

Risk variables for WMSDs Heavy, visit or ungainly lifting

Slide 19

Heavy lifting

Slide 20

Frequent Lifting more than twice every moment

Slide 21

Awkward Lifting over the shoulders, beneath the knees, or at a careful distance

Slide 22

Alternatives to lifting Use trucks, hand trucks, cranes, transports or other mechanical help Slide protests as opposed to lifting them Store overwhelming things where you won't need to twist or reach to lift them Use steps to get things down from high retires

Slide 23

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing truly difficult work Mechanical help Height-customizable stage permits substantial box to be slid crosswise over

Slide 24

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing unbalanced lifting Mini-bed for hand truck Allows hand truck to slide under heap of containers without having to restack them

Slide 25

Risk elements for WMSDs Awkward stances

Slide 26

Neutral Posture – The inverse of clumsy stance Standing impartial stance Seated nonpartisan stance

Slide 27

Awkward stances happen when the work is: Too high Too low Too far away

Slide 28

Awkward Postures - Low work Bending Kneeling Squatting These stances are challenging for the back and the knees

Slide 29

Reducing low work Raise as well as tilt the work for better get to Use a stool for ground level work Use apparatuses with longer handles Alternate between bowing, stooping, sitting, and crouching

Slide 30

Raise and tilt the work Ergonomics at Work - Reducing low work

Slide 31

Raise the work Ergonomics at Work - Reducing low work

Slide 32

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing low work Meter peruser – golf club handle expansion

Slide 33

Awkward Postures - High work This stance is no picnic for the shoulders, neck and back

Slide 34

Reducing high work Use a hoisted work stage or moving stairs Use devices with longer handles Limit overhead stockpiling to rarely utilized things Bring the work down and tilt for less demanding access

Slide 35

Use a device with longer handles Ergonomics at Work - Reducing high work

Slide 36

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing high work Fixture lift for overhead establishments

Slide 37

Awkward Postures - Reaching This stance is no picnic for the arms, bears, and back

Slide 38

Reducing Reaching Keep things inside close achieve (d esign achieve separate for the most limited laborer) Remove snags Use gravity nourish racks

Slide 39

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing achieving Tilt table for sanding

Slide 40

Risk elements for WMSDs Hand Intensive Work

Slide 41

Hand Intensive Work Repetitive movements Gripping Pinching Bent wrists

Slide 42

Hand Intensive Work – Highly redundant movement

Slide 43

Reducing reiteration Arrange work to evade pointless movements Let control devices and hardware take the necessary steps Spread dull work out amid the day Take extend stops Rotate errand with collaborators if conceivable Change hands or movements as often as could be expected

Slide 44

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing redundancy Use control instruments

Slide 45

Hand Intensive Work – Gripping and Pinching A power grasp is 5 times more grounded than a squeeze grasp = 10 lbs 2 lbs

Slide 46

Hand Intensive Work – Gripping

Slide 47

Hand Intensive Work – Pinching with the fingertips

Slide 48

Other components Your hold quality declines when you: Bend your wrists Pick up tricky things Wear inadequately fitting gloves Have cool hands

Slide 49

Reduce hold constrain Grip with the entire hand, not only the fingertips Pick up littler burdens Use trucks or handtrucks as opposed to conveying Keep devices in great working request Use lighter devices or device balancers Use two hands Keep your wrists straight

Slide 50

Avoid squeeze grasps Pick questions up from the base utilizing entire hand Attach handles or utilize lift devices Build up handles on little devices to lessen grasp drive

Slide 51

Avoid clutching objects for long stretches Use clasps to clutch work Place things on trucks as opposed to conveying them Put down a device when not really utilizing it

Slide 52

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing grasping Tool Balancer

Slide 53

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing grasping Use a clip or tight clamp to hold parts

Slide 54

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing squeezing Change squeezing to grasping Add-on handle additionally diminishes bowing to get pots

Slide 55

Hand Intensive Work – Bent Wrists

Slide 56

Tool utilize illustration Use devices that let you keep your wrist straight Working with bowed wrists diminishes grasp quality

Slide 57

Ergonomics at Work - Reducing bowed wrists Re-situate the work

Slide 58

Risk of damage goes up as you consolidate elements Hand Intensive Work – Combinations Repetition + Gripping or Pinching + Bent wrists Repetition + Gripping or Pinching Repetition Risk

Slide 59

Intensive scratching

Slide 60

Reducing concentrated scratching Use macros for normal capacities Spread console work for the duration of the day Take extend delays Improve your stance and move around however much as would be prudent

Slide 61

Risk elements for WMSDs Vibration

Slide 62

Vibration High vibration Moderate vibration

Slide 63

Reducing vibration Use low vibration devices if accessible Maintain devices Use hostile to vibration gloves or device wraps Keep hands warm

Slide 64

Risk elements for WMSDs Repeated effects

Slide 65

Repeated effects Using the hand or knee as a sledge

Slide 66

Avoiding rehashed impacts Use devices rather than your hand or knee

Slide 67

What you can do: Recognize and report side effects Get included in ergonomics

Slide 68

Discomfort Pain Numbness Tingling What are a portion of the side effects of WMSDs? Smoldering Swelling Change in shading Tightness, loss of adaptability

Slide 69

Recognize and report side effects Report side effects if: Pain is industrious, extreme or compounding Pain emanates Symptoms incorporate deadness or shivering Symptoms keep you from resting during the evening

Slide 70

Why is it essential to report side effects? Minor wounds can without much of a stretch get to be perpetual wounds and can now and again prompt to handicap, even surgery Early treatment is more fruitful

Slide 71

Getting included Look at employments Come up with arrangements Work with arrangements Take part in preparing Take duty regarding changing the way you carry out your occupation Help to attempt beyond any doubt endeavors are effective

Slide 72

Five key focuses to recall Ergonomics can help you on your employment WMSDs can happen in occupations with hazard components Risk elements can be lessened and WMSDs counteracted Reporting indications early is critical You can help your organization set up ergonomics changes
